Mighty SMS Brings Scheduled Text Messages to Windows Phone 7

Windows Phone 7 isn't out yet, but a number of developers are already on the bandwagon building apps for it. Even though phones running Windows Phone 7 aren't scheduled to begin hitting the market until later this year, developers like Iconosys are already readying apps like Mighty SMS so they'll be ready when the operating system is available. Mighty SMS is already available for Windows Mobile 6.5, and is designed for professional users who want the ability to schedule, and send and respond to SMS messages either personally or for their business.

The app was built for professionals like real estate agents, doctors, and dentists -- all of whom have appointments and meetings where a text message reminder either to themselves, or a thank you note afterward to the patient or client they have an appointment with, could be useful.

Mighty SMS comes in two versions: a personal version, and a professional version. The personal version allows you to program simple outbound SMS messages to friends or loved ones to wish them a happy birthday, or remind them of an appointment or meeting they may have coming up. With the personal version, all Mighty SMS features are managed on your Windows Phone 7 or Windows Mobile 6.5 device.

The professional version extends those features, and gives you the ability to send custom replies to people who have messaged you, and a Web interface that you can use to manage your account, settings, and your scheduled messages and responses. Iconosys notes that neither version has calendar integration, but they're planning to roll out support for Google Calendar and Microsoft Outlook (which doesn't necessarily mean Microsoft Exchange) in the near future.

The app is already available if you have a Windows Mobile 6.5 device. The app is available if you have a Windows Phone 7 device, even though the mobile OS isn't out just yet. Both personal and professional versions of the app are subscription-based. The personal version will cost you $3.99 per month, and the professional version is $59.99 per year. The Web interface for managing appointments and responses will cost you an extra $39 per month, and is only available for professional users.
